Turbo sizing for an S5 engine?

Hey all I am thinking about buying a TO4B for my TII and I have the opportunity to get one for a nice price ~400 and it has a .60 a/r on the compressor and a 1.15 a/r on the hotside. Should I ask what trim it is or anything? My power goal is 400whp by the time I am done with the car. Would this be close to my goal?

I was also told that the compressor wheel is 54mm but I do not know what compressor it is. Does anyone know if this is good at all?

The compressor wheel is between a T5/6 and a V trim. I would ask what the trim on the compressor and turbine wheels is.

There's other factors your not considering.

-Turbine wheel trim.
-Turbine wheel size.
-Divided/collected.
-Manifold.

The turbo is divided I know that but I am getting ahold of him to see about those other things.



BTW what do you mean manifold? This is just for the turbo right now.

2 T04's like you are talking about for 575 - if you are so inclined, buy them both, sell the other for 400

I just wish I had my rx-7, I'd buy them. Guess I'll have to wait just a little longer

This turbo is way to small. There are many different T04B's.

What you want for 400whp at a decent level of boost +/- 15psi is a T04B 60-1 or T04S. Both have the 60-1 compressor. You could also get away with maybe a T04E '60'.

Old news really.

Hmm that ebay auction sounds good. I wonder if I could use them as twins? Since they are too small by themselves.
